Description Mikko Tiihonen 2005-06-28 23:20:34 UTC

The packager of some of the metacity themes seems to use the image viewer xv to
check the themes. The program creates a .xvpics directory for thumbnails for
faster future viewing.
The x11-themes/metacity-themes ebuild should remove all the .xvpics directories
before installing to free some disk space.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge metacity-themes
2. look into /usr/share/themes/AEon_Marbles_v1.1/.xvpics/ (for example)

Actual Results:  
There are thumbnails of images in some themes.

Expected Results:  
There should be no .xvpics thumbnails installed

Thanks Mikko, this has been fixed in CVS.

Comment 2 Nicolas Kaiser 2006-05-04 05:07:40 UTC

Relatedly, metacity-themes also installs a VIM swap file:

equery f metacity-themes|grep swp
/usr/share/themes/mcblue/.metacity-theme-1.xml.swp

It might be a good idea to remove it along with the .xvpics directories.
However, this one is so trivial that I don't dare to open a new bug.
